The mashgiach, spoke about this in a shmuz on Erev Rosh Chodesh Elul. He quoted Rash’i in the beginning of Bereishis who says that an eclipse is a bad sign for the world, But when one keeps the mitzvos, he does not have to worry. So the fact that it was on ER”CH Ellul, is a good reminder of that.

These photos were taken using a special filter that lets through only 1/10000 of the available light, so everything else looks pitch black. This filter enables you to safely look at the sun, and prevents sun rays from burning your camera’s sensor.

The Chofetz Chaim said it is a mitzvah to look at a sun eclipse to see Who is the real Yotzer Hameoros, and he himself went out to see the eclipse! A good preparation for Elul.
